The Energon Pub

Multi bot up for preorder on amazon U.S and still more of the collectors line to come. Sting-or before dragstor for some reason.

Wave 3 of thundercats is a bit of a waste but I'll get panthor

Yeah, I don't really get MOTUxTC wave 3, just two repaints and a new Panthor is disappointing. Couldn't even be bothered to make the repaints into new characters.

I'd like a regular Origins Marlene in a space suit. Going to pass on those Cartoon figures.

I'm sold on most of the new eternnia stuff, Adora will not clash with the classics version (it's prett much des[ara again) and a untainted Keldor is fine by me.

Mark Taylor sketch figures are a buy too. Really undecided over 200x as i I have most of the originals but beastman does look likely for me.

I'm pretty excited about the 200X stuff because it isn't the original line rehashed, it's all cartoon based. I have no interest in the Filmation stuff because I never got to watch it as a kid (didn't air in my broadcast market, neither did Thundercats or Robotech) but I loved the 200X cartoon as an adult.

It's a little weird how inconsistent they are with New Etheria. There was, what, She-Ra and Hordak and that's it?

sometimes being a bit late to the party is better. I was waiting for another purchase so that stingors shipping wouldnt...sting.

Ordered from mattel creations UK, so almost £3 saved on shipping with 20% off stingor and masterverse panthor. Picked up Red Shadow. Selection is pretty poor on the uk site but they had a few odd things that are no longer on US site such as lady slither and panthor.

If I had ordered stateside it would have been a discounted masterverse snout spout to have two of them/or hose head but I kinda started regretting not picking panthor up.

Kinda figure multi bot was going to sell out on US site so I couldn't combine my order of black wizard... But then didn't expect black wizard to be sold out on uk site and multi bot be orderable.

Short version, two lots of postage paid.

At least Mattel is consistent with how New Adventures is being given the short end of the stick again. They didn't even attempt to release as many of them as Classics did before jumping to 200X.. Sigh

Even Garry Chalks Xmas message missed out on new adventures. At least they did a load of She-ra figures before 200x...oh...

And we are still waiting on origins style movie figures. I'm realising I'm never going to be done with motu collecting

In contrast, I opted to cut my loses. My (incomplete) Classics Space Mutants collection went to eBay. I'm tired of collecting lines that license holders are too lazy to finish ala Storm Collectibles Mortal Kombat, Neca Defenders of the Earth etc

I just need new adventures classics Quake and she-ra from what was available :/ neca has been almost as bad as super 7. By time flash Gordon wave 2 comes out I might have starship eternia

Not the masterverse movie Duncan I was looking for but more than likely a buy

first look at new movie figures:

Evil Lynns costume migh not work so well in figure form but the pics are def not the best

Not sure how I feel about the new MOTU movie line. I think for the most part they look good, but they're starting yet another scale with these (Chronicles), not 6" instead of 5.5" or 7". I'll probably just grab He-Man, Skeletor, Trap Jaw, Roboto (not shown yet) because they're the best figures we've seen and then wait and see if these get remade for Masterverse later on.

Meanwhile, Amazon is trying to send me into financial ruin by charging and shipping 13 MOTU figures all at once (not to mention the new proto Castle Grayskull earlier this month).

Amazon's still hot my money for sketch cyclone they never plan on dispatching and I can't get a refund on it (I'd even sacrifice having to pay postage on the refund because it was meant to be sent with other figures 4 months ago).

Mattels dispatched blast attack and some other goodies, I'll have to order masterverse Mantenna at some point.

Most of the chronicles stuff I might pass on. If the scale isn't too weird, evil lyn, roboto and a few more might be buys. If they do poly pocket sets, I wouldn't say no....

new movie core figures. He-man does look to have the most muscles over chronicles or the actor.

not sure they fit with origins but I'm okay with them being their own style (such as netflix skel/heman in the masterverse line or the recent 200x in origins)

hoping this doesnt mean origins is dead too and masterverse needs to complete the movie figure line, whilst origins is yet to even start it
